Abstract

A device for mounting at least one connector in an aircraft fuselage includes a first and a second traverse configured to connect the device to a structural section of the aircraft fuselage at end sections of the first and second traverses. A frame element extends transversely between the first and the second traverses and is configured to accommodate the at least one connector. A first and a second connecting profile respectively connect the frame element to the first and second traverse.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A device for mounting at least one connector in an aircraft fuselage comprising:
 a first and second traverse configured to connect the device to a structural section of the aircraft fuselage at end sections of the first and second traverses; 
 a frame element extending traversely between the first and second traverses and configured to accommodate the at least one connector; 
 a first and a second connecting profile respectively connecting the frame element to the first and second traverse; 
 wherein the frame element and the first and second connecting profiles each have a perforation pattern configured to accommodate at least one attachment, and wherein the first and second traverses each include a C-shaped profile with a web, a first flange and a second flange, the web, the first flange and the second flange each having a perforation pattern extending along the entire length of the traverses such that the frame element is flexibly moveable in a longitudinal and vertical direction with respect to each of the traverses. 
 
     
     
       2. The device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first and second connecting profiles include an L-shaped profile, are configured to engage spaced apart edge regions of the frame element and are configured to engage a web of the first traverse and a web of the second traverse. 
     
     
       3. The device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the end sections of the first and second traverses includes at least one elongated hole configured to accommodate an attachment configured to connect the device to the structural section of the aircraft fuselage. 
     
     
       4. The device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the frame element includes at least one standard connecting region configured to accommodate at least one of a roof element and the at least one connector. 
     
     
       5. The device as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising at least one lateral traverse disposed on a side of the frame element so as to be movable in a longitudinal direction of the first and second traverses. 
     
     
       6. The device as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the at least one lateral traverse in connected to a flange of the first traverse and a flange of the second traverse. 
     
     
       7. The device as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the at least one of the first and second traverses, the frame element, the first and second connecting profiles, and the at least one lateral traverse include a respective body axis about which axis the at least one of the first and second traverses, the frame element, the first and second connecting profiles and the at least one lateral traverse is symmetrical. 
     
     
       8. The device as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the at least one lateral traverse includes one of a plastic material and a plastic alloy. 
     
     
       9. The device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first and second traverses, the frame element and the first and second connecting profiles are metallic.
